Tenthill Rise (111 Tenthill Creek Road, Gatton) is positioned at the heart of a region undergoing sustained and structural growth. Driven by long-term population expansion, workforce growth, and significant public and private investment, Gatton and the broader Lockyer Valley are rapidly transitioning from a traditional regional service centre into a strategically important industrial and employment hub within South East Queensland.
Backed by strong demographic fundamentals, employment growth and major infrastructure investment, the Lockyer Valley, and Gatton in particular, is fast emerging as a strategic location for industrial and commercial development.
At Property Gateway, we closely track regional growth indicators to identify areas with genuine long-term potential. The data coming out of Gatton and the wider Lockyer Valley region presents a compelling case.
Read below to find out how Tenthill Rise is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the Lockyer Valley’s projected growth potential.
The Lockyer Valley Region is projected to reach a population of 60,000 by 2046, based on the 2023 baseline. This represents a significant increase that is reshaping housing demand, workforce requirements and land use across the region.
Key population drivers include:
Gatton itself has been a key driver of this growth. Over the past decade, the majority of the region’s population increase has occurred in Gatton and adjoining districts, with an 8.8% population increase over the last 10 years highlighting its growing importance as a regional centre. Population growth of this scale directly supports demand for employment, services, logistics, manufacturing and industrial floor space.
Economic indicators reinforce Gatton’s long-term outlook.
Between 2021 and 2022, the region’s Gross Regional Product (GRP) increased by 16.9%, demonstrating resilient and sustained economic momentum.
Employment growth across the region is equally compelling:
This employment growth is not concentrated in a single sector. Instead, it is driven by a diverse mix of industries, reducing economic volatility and supporting long-term stability.
This diversification supports consistent demand for industrial land, warehousing, processing facilities and supporting infrastructure.
Industrial demand in Gatton is forecast to accelerate significantly over the coming decades.
This level of growth reflects rising demand from logistics, manufacturing, agribusiness and service industries seeking strategically located, well-connected industrial land outside major metropolitan centres.
The combination of population growth, employment expansion and sector diversity makes Gatton increasingly attractive for industrial occupiers and investors alike.
Confidence in the region is further reflected in development approvals and major project investment.
Major projects across the Lockyer Valley include:
These projects highlight strong public and private sector confidence in the region’s long-term growth trajectory and reinforce demand for industrial land and supporting commercial use.
Taken together, the data paints a clear picture: Gatton is transitioning from a regional service centre into a strategically important industrial and employment hub within South East Queensland.
